Monday Minutes

Did you all notice my new header? My husband is fabulous. [If you're reading in Google Reader, get outta there and come check it out...]

I'm seriously loving staying home. I had multiple people tell me I'd be "bored" staying home with a baby, but I am anything but that. I adore it. I really, really do. I'm made for this. Now I just have to figure out a way to stay home forever.

The finale of Big Brother is this week (and yes I watch that garbage)...and while I found this season fairly boring, I'm still hoping either Hayden or Lane wins. [Even though it appears that Lane comes from money...] Enzo just simply does not deserve it. He did nothing.all.season.

I feel like I LIVE at the fabric store lately. That's good news, though--because, it means I'm making headbands and getting orders, I guess. The employees are starting to recognize me and Emeline.

Speaking of the little Miss...we started her at a new pediatrician this week. Long story short, we used to have her at our family doctor but I needed more then that (as a new mom). I was really pleased with the new doc, and he told me multiple times at her checkup that she has a great temperment and is a really good baby. She smiled and giggled through the entire appointment until we got to the dreaded 4 month shots. She did some crying, and then quickly passed out from exhaustion.

It was confirmed by the doctor....she IS teething. Ouch. It hurts to say that out loud. Thank God we have a Sophie teether on the way.

We were given the go-ahead to start the solid's journey. We have started her on some pribiotics rice cereal here and there. I haven't been super consistent with it yet, but we've tried it about 3 or 4 times. She makes the craziest faces ever, and it's amusing to say the least. Last night, though-she did much better with it, and some of it (I believe) was actually swallowed. Hah...

I am officially a football season widow...it has begun. Declan will be enjoying this season with his mini-cheerleader by his side. He will be doing everything in his power to have this little girl appreciate the sport more then her momma. Go for it.

Oh, and we're officially obsessed with leg warmers. Seriously...for around the house lounging and such? It MAKES so.much.sense! No pants to remove for diaper changes? Why thank you. How convenient. And freakin' cute. We love.

i have to know if sophie the teether works! we have bought several teether thingies and they all seem too big for noah to really chew on. i am thinking sophie's legs would be great for noah to chew on. so glad that Emeline did great at her doctor's appt. i am dreading shots next week, but super excited about starting rice cereal :D LOVE the leg warmers!!! girl you are gonna get me into so much trouble b/c now i am googling the leg warmers to see if they come in boy colors..HA!! i am gonna spend sooo much money, but it is worth it. it is amazing how i just can't say no when it comes to Noah :D

I *LOVE* Big Brother and am so sad it's ending. Lane is my favorite to win.... I was really hoping he and Britney would make it to the finals together. It does seem like he comes from money, though. Hayden and Enzo probably could use it more.

Little Miss is just too cute for words. Love the eating photo..... and she does look like she's not sure about the whole football thing, lol.

LOVE that you're enjoying being home. I'm not even married...... so a baby is a loooonnnngggg way down the way, but I wonder how I'm going to handle going back to work.

Great investment on Sophie. Connor loves his and Wrigley loves it more! I had it buried in Connor's toy basket and Wrigley dug it out and stole it! Love the post shot picture. We have to go to the Ped today for a weight check. I think Connor has outgrown his Zantac and needs a larger dose. I HATE getting down to just a diaper! Worst part about the doctor. Have a great day!

She will be the cutest little cheerleader EVER!! Love the leg warmers on her, adorable!!!!!! I can just tell how much you enjoy staying home with her and hope God opens the doors for it to continue!!! :)

BB fan here too! I was so sad when she got the boot! Now I am for Lane, then maybe Hayden, definitely agree no Enzo! I think he will be in the final 2 though b/c Lane won't pick Hayden and vice versa I would think

Right now the plan is for me to stay home once we have kids. Some people say they will get too bored. But my fiance and I are messy people. So I have enough to clean around here with just the two of us! I have a felling with a baby I will be MORE than busy! Haha.

she is getting so big, i cant even stand it katie!! 4 month shots, where did the time go? i LOVE me some Babylegs. i had this fab idea to use them in each of his monthly shoots (i only had one pair at the time) and after my successful and adorable 1 month shots, i purchased 11 more pairs (because clearly he cant wear the same pair in EVERY picture) and my husband comes home from work, sees the pictures and goes, "my son does NOT wear legwarmers. or leggings. or whatever. he looks like a sissy boy!!" needless to say, i never told him about the 11 more pairs on the way... Oops.

Rice cereal was like manna from heaven for us! Rory was a good sleeper always, but as soon as she started rice cereal for breakfast and right before bed, BAM! She slept so much more! It was beyond fantastic. She felt fuller longer and I was one thankful mama!

Also, I think Emeline looks pained in the last one because she's secretly ready to cheer for the BEST Football team in Pennsylvania...THE STEELERS!! ;)

Yeah, I had people telling me I'd be bored too. And after he was born, I would get the sympathetic, "Sooo... how are you doing?" as if to ask me, "So... are you miserable and just pretending to like it?"

I LOOOVE being a stay-at-home mommy. I love getting to see every single darn thing Noah does during the day. It's definitely not easy, but I was totally made for this.

Just be happy she's not at the stage where she recognizes the doctor everytime you go. Noah now knows where he is... THE PLACE WITH THE NEEDLES. He used to be all smiles and giggles... now he SOBS. I'm told it gets better by the time they're 5. I hope so!!

Katie, how did the Declan do your header?? I have tried making one in a picture editor thingie and it never loads right. It is always too short and etc. Please beg him to show us how he does his magic :D Love the new header!! Y'all are a super cute bunch!!

Just came across your blog and wanted to say hi! Your daughter is precious and I love her name! My son will be 4 months on Friday so I think they're pretty close to the same age. I ordered the Sophie teether last week too and am (im)patiently awaiting it's arrival - ha! Love your blog. :)
